Why would a virus become unviable just because it's embedded in a smaller droplet?

- tablespoon 5y ago> Why would a virus become unviable just because it's embedded in a smaller droplet? From my scan, it looked like some of the smaller droplet sizes were due to desiccation of larger particles. As a particle desiccates, concentrations will change, and maybe they'll change in a way that makes the virus non-viable E.g., imagine a freshwater lake that contains certain amount of salt, as you dry it out it will get saltier and saltier, to the point where freshwater fish can no longer live in it. Eventually you get a salt pan.
